Beware of the industry or service that is especially made and marketed for foreign and tourist buyers. For example, those sweaters mentioned by Kim:

"I used to get a catalog of pricey South American imports, mostly knitted goods. A sidebar in the catalog said that some of the sweaters took about four months for an expert knitter to complete. They were selling these things for $400, and I know very well the people who made them were probably not even getting half of that for their trouble."

No, they will receive only 5 to 6 % of that price. Fortunately we in Argentina have never seen (until now) a level of exploitation similar to the South East Asia or Africa, but we do have child exploiters. Curiously, most of them are oriental immigrants who exploit Andean immigrants in a kind of sub-sub-world under the complicity of local authorities who take a good share of the earnings. Don't buy from them, please. Just choose a South American product when it fits your needs and competes well in price and quality without damage to local jobs or environment. Or, come here and eat Kilograms of REAL BEEF ! :)
